Luke Massie started the business to help fans buy and sell event tickets and better prices

The entrepreneur behind disruptive ticketing site Vibe Tickets has opened his new HQ with flair, entertaining investors, friends and users with talent from across the region at a #BringTheVibe party.

Luke Massie’s fast-growing business, which began by bringing fans together to buy and sell tickets at negotiated prices, has disrupted the secondary ticketing market.

It has now evolved into the first entirely transparent international social marketplace for live events.

As well as celebrating the recent move into a larger head office in Lancaster, the #BringTheVibe party also marked a momentous six months for Vibe, during which it opened a second office in central London and expanded its team with the addition of senior staff from industry giants Ticketmaster and MTV.

On the evening guests were treated to a performance from The Voice UK's Hayley Eccles, followed by a DJ set by KISS FM's Tom Green which went into the early hours of the morning.

Vibe has built up a user-base of 75,000 followers since 2013. After raising £600,000 via crowdfunding within four weeks it now has funding amounting to £1.7 million from a number of investors, including Richard Branson.

In a speech made at the #BringTheVibe party, Massie said: “I’ve been told time and time again that I should abandon my roots and migrate Vibe’s head office to London.

“Vibe is all about connecting people, so having set the business up just four years ago on Twitter, it’s a special moment to have all the people who have made a difference to our journey so far gathered in our new office.

“We’re heading in an extremely exciting direction and I can’t wait for the next chapter in Vibe’s story.”
